EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a facsimile of an important letter written by Oliver Cromwell to Lenthall, Speaker of the House of Commons, announcing the victory at Naseby in 1649. The original letter is part of the prestigious Harleian Collection housed in the British Museum, London. The artist, Oliver Cromwell himself, meticulously recreated this historic document with his own hand. The print showcases not only his exceptional calligraphy skills but also provides a glimpse into the events that shaped England's history during the 17th century. The letter signifies a significant turning point in Britain's tumultuous past as it marks one of the decisive battles fought during the English Civil War. Cromwell's words carry both triumph and determination as he relays news of their victory over Charles I's forces at Naseby. Displayed against an architectural backdrop reminiscent of old England, this print transports us back to a time when war and politics intertwined. It serves as a reminder of how literature and handwritten correspondence played crucial roles in shaping historical narratives. Preserved for centuries, this facsimile allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance. As we delve into its intricacies and study each stroke carefully penned by Cromwell himself, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in British history – one that forever altered the course of nation-building and governance under Cromwell's leadership as Lord Protector of the Commonwealth.
